U.K. t.b.ers! Best cab for £300?

all those that live in the u.k. this is a question for you which cab out of

Peavey, behringer, laney, warwick, hartke, trace, ashdown or any other commonly available (in the U.K.) brand should i go for?
playing a warwick thumb 5, trace head. i got a 1X15 i need a 4X10..
any one?

Depends what you're after. Will you be using this with the 115 or on its own (or both, depending on gig size)? What sort of tone are you after? Style of music? Do you use just the rig or go through the PA, etc etc etc

I love my Hartke 2.5xl (2x10 with a 5" HF unit) myself - works well on its own or with my 115xl. But that's me and my sound, doesn't mean it will be ideal for you.

at the moment im playing in a metal band i also like to soften up and play motown, jazz, reggae so i want something with a bit of sensitivity and versatility if thats possible with out spending a million squids

The NHS are worse than useless at dealing with bad backs - I have private health insurance, but it doesn't stop you taking time off work when you have a bad back and even worse - stops you playing bass!!

Were you served by the bald guy with glasses? If so was he his usual rude self?
